Ironned, Carnac, the standing stones, Quiberon, Auray, Vannes and the whole Gulf of Morbihan is an area well worth more time than the usual.
Also Benodet, Quimper, Concarneau, Pont-Aven and Mt St Michel (although technically just about in Normandy ), Cancale, St Malo, Dinard and Dinan.
Those would be my favourite 3 areas of Brittany anyway.

Would there be any dog-friendly beaches about?

The site that I had earmarked years ago which has a direct beach access turned out to be no good to me as dogs are not allowed on the beach in May!

So I had to look for somewhere else, as I don't think it is fair to the dog when he can't access a beach when he sees one.

For me, i have 2 school age children and our 2 weeks in august are already set with my wifes work. unfortunately they fall on one week of the french 'factory fortnight'.

we were undecided whether to go to the west coast of france as we always do or to the eastern side for a change.

i like to ensure the best kind of campsite for my kids with waterslides etc because i only get 23days holiday from work and for the 2 weeks we can get away with them i want it to be perfect....anyway we were dicsussing what we should do this summer. my wife spotted la garangiore in the CAMHC magazine. so started to look at sites on the west coast with good cycling possibilities. la garangiore is next door to le grand defi a climbing activity we have been to a few times but there isnt a vendee velo route type cycling path out that way.

anyway i started looking at various possibilities with Yelloh!, Sandaya etc and already some of the sites have no pitches available on our weeks holidays . last year i booked our holiday at Du jard in tranch sur mer between chrismas and new year.

in any case, has anyone seen the price of the western crossings this summer

does anyone have any suggestions for regions with fairly flat cycling routes and somwhere to kayak etc....that isnt really popular

DK168 - If you are still interested in the Carnac area (or indeed any where else in France) this site might help.

It also gives information about other places such as attractions and restaurants that allow dogs. Hope it helps.

Ferry booked Poole - Cherbourg
1 night at Camping Haliotis
1 night at La Venise Verte
9 nights at Le Logis du Breuil near Royan
Back to La Venise Verte for 3 nights and then Haliotis for 1 night before the ferry back to Poole

Never tried Le Logis du Breuil nor La Venise Verte before and we usually only do a one night stopover on the way down, must be getting old though as I found it a bit of a struggle last year, although I put that down to an outfit (BMW 3 litre X3 and 1600kg Swift) that on paper was ideal but in reality was awful to drive and always felt like it was on the verge of snaking, have upgraded the X3 for a 2 litre BiTurbo Ranger this year though
